ask_a_locator

Ask a question only a human can answer — current specials, real availability, lease flexibility, 'is the pool actually open'. A human locator replies during Central Time business hours, usually within a few hours. STRONGLY include the renter's contact with consent so the locator can follow up directly (agent sessions end; polling alone can strand an answer). Returns a question_id for check_answer as a bonus channel. Rate limited; batch related questions into one. Answers are point-in-time facts.

questionstring, required

The question for the human locator — specifics beat generalities.

citystring

Metro the question concerns.

agentstring

Name of the referring assistant/product.

contactstring

The renter's phone/email, supplied with their consent. Strongly recommended; otherwise immediately share contact_capture_url returned by this tool.

apartmentsarray

Buildings the question is about.

No appointment is booked or message sent.

request_key*	string	Original private research access key. Never share publicly.
